15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Distribution of Rewards (DEs Specifically)
Let’s see…
1. When did you begin playing? (post bw’s)
- Day 0.
2. how many hours total do you have? (/age)
- About 940 or so.
3. What’s your most gold banked so far?
- 26g.
4. Do you have a max level character (s)? (number if more than one)
- One level 80. I have 15 characters.
5. List 1-3 areas / zones / events / tp; where you spend most of your time for income.
- I don’t spend time for income. It’s repetitive. And repetitive is boring. But the areas in which I got more gold were all level 80, while in any other area the rewards were negligible. The jump was waaay too big.
6. Do you mainly use MF or not?
- Never. Not even boosts or consumables. They are not worth it. My guild activates the guild buff at weekends, though.
7. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a mob? If so, how many and total?
- Five. All from a meta-event chest or puzzle chest. Never from drops. Only the mad king’d slipper was euippable by the character who got it. And the rest were worth less than 75silver in the Trading Post.
8. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a chest? If so, how many and total?
- See 7.
9. What’s the most number of rare weapons you have looted in one day or 8hrs time?
- 0. I never get rare drops.
10. How many rare or exotic weapons do you “expect” to loot in one hour of time?
- See 9.
11. How many lodestones have you looted total so far? (all types)
- A charged lodestone in the Solid Ocean fractal. That is all.
12. Do you craft? If so, do you have a 400 crafter? if so, how many?
- I have a 400 cook. The rest are lower because I never have enough fine materials for anything else, nor budget to get them from the Trading Post.
13. Do you sell your looted crafting mats? (specify optional)
- Only surplus ones once I max the tier, since the upgrade recipe in the Mystic Forge is not worth it.
14. Do you feel your return, (in terms of items, completion, income, etc) for your time, has been worth it?
- No.
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
- Replayability across the entire world, instead forcing people to concentrate in the latter and newer areas. This also includes replaying story missions and one-time events, and story mode of dungeons.

1. When did you begin playing?
I played the beta weekends and I was there at launch.
2. how many hours total do you have?
I’ve had GW2 uninstalled for a while now, so I can’t check.
3. What’s your most gold banked so far?
Same answer as 2, but it was pitifully low due to the obnoxious waypoint tax.
4. Do you have a max level character?
Nope. I couldn’t bring myself to go any further after meeting Trahearne.
5. List 1-3 areas / zones / events / tp; where you spend most of your time for income.
Not sure. I got around a lot.
6. Do you mainly use MF or not?
Not. I’m not a gambler.
7. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a mob? If so, how many and total?
Nope.
8. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a chest? If so, how many and total?
Nope.
9. What’s the most number of rare weapons you have looted in one day or 8hrs time?
No clue. I’m apparently not an obsessive archivist.
10. How many rare or exotic weapons do you “expect” to loot in one hour of time?
I don’t think the game should be designed around stats and vertical progression in the first place.
11. How many lodestones have you looted total so far?
No clue! Not many. Barely any?
12. Do you craft? If so, do you have a 400 crafter? if so, how many?
I don’t craft. Crafting is boring. Hell, crafting in Free Realms was more fun.
13. Do you sell your looted crafting mats?
Yes, at the trading post/vendors. Usually at the vendor since they don’t fetch barely anything more at the trading post. (Hooray for GW2’s economy being in a deflationary spiral.)
14. Do you feel your return, (in terms of items, completion, income, etc) for your time, has been worth it?
Definitely not. Considering the taxes in this game, taxes on almost every activity, I was always low on money. This was one of the contributing factors of me quitting (along with the butchering of the power plateau).
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Everything. The feel of the game, the AI, the combat, the skills, and even the graphics are butt ugly compared to GW1.
1. When did you begin playing?
Headstart.
2. how many hours total do you have? (/age)
750 hours all on my main.
3. What’s your most gold banked so far?
200g
4. Do you have a max level character (s)? (number if more than one)
Only one.
5. List 1-3 areas / zones / events / tp; where you spend most of your time for income.
Atm Fractals of the Mists dungeon, it’s just brilliant for gold and it’s challenging.
6. Do you mainly use MF or not?
No.
7. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a mob? If so, how many and total?
3 exotic items, iirc
8. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a chest? If so, how many and total?
One.
9. What’s the most number of rare weapons you have looted in one day or 8hrs time?
~30 I think, I didn’t count lol.
10. How many rare or exotic weapons do you “expect” to loot in one hour of time?
Farming ? about 2 or 3.
11. How many lodestones have you looted total so far? (all types)
Less than 10 definitely, not sure exactly tho. I’ve got quite a few from making Mystic Clovers also but I didn’t count them.
12. Do you craft? If so, do you have a 400 crafter? if so, how many?
I only leveled 2 professions to 400 because of legendary weapon requirement.
13. Do you sell your looted crafting mats? (specify optional)
Yes I do, unless I am working on something (legendary or any other item which requires mats), but mostly I sell them yes.
14. Do you feel your return, (in terms of items, completion, income, etc) for your time, has been worth it?
Yes.
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Rewards (I know, only 1 word, but I feel like I need to specify this :p)
Mainly for WvWvW and chest/champion mob drops, atm it’s literally a waste of time doing chest events and dragons, also WvWvW – It’s fun I get it and I agree, but why not making it fun AND REWARDING ? Thats what I mean by ‘rewards’ :p
1. Since headstart. Also did beta’s
2. over 500
3. 35g
4. 2 level 80s
5. dungeons and selling mats
6. never used MF. I think it’s a lame stat.
7. Never had an exotic drop
8. No exotics from chest either
9. Never checked
10. At least one rare. Exotics can take longer
11. Just a couple…cba
12. Nope, this is the first MMO where I don’t like crafting
13. I sell all mats I gather
14. Nope
15. There needs to be a thriving community in the leveling zones. So stop chasing people to dungeons.
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Everything. The feel of the game, the AI, the combat, the skills, and even the graphics are butt ugly compared to GW1.
Just read this last sentence and I feel sick. Someone delete…him.
You must have some really bad PC or something. GW2 graphics are best on any MMORPG I’ve played and I’ve tried most of them, aion, swtor, tera etc. It’s not even arguable that GW2 > GW1 graphics.
Taxes are high that’s why you didn’t have money and quit ? You must be really bad and mmo’s aint for you.
